At present, electrodes are still universal electrodes on the market, and there are the following problems in terms of medical safety and effectiveness: the electrodes used for each special treatment with the stimulator are different in terms of application scope, main technical parameters, connection methods and usage methods, and the use of inappropriate electrodes may lead to reduced effectiveness and safety issues. Certain relevant characteristics of the electrode may change over time, or cause some medical and health related problems due to repeated use, so its service life should be considered, including the effective time or number of uses.
